This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the Pupil Level Annual School Census collected by the Welsh Government. The data tells us where pupils lived at the time of the last Pupil Census.

Our heat maps use groups of postcodes, not individual postcodes, and have naturally soft edges. All pupils are included in the mapping (i.e. children with siblings already at the school, high priority pupils and selective and/or religious admissions) but we may have removed statistical ‘outliers’ with more remote postcodes that do not reflect majority admissions.

For some schools, the heat map may be a useful indicator of the catchment area but our heat maps are not the same as catchment area maps. Catchment area maps, published by the school or local authority, are based on geographical admissions criteria and show actual cut-off distances and pre-defined catchment areas for a single admission year.

This information is provided as a guide only. The areas from which pupils are admitted to a school can change from year to year to reflect the number of siblings and pupils admitted under high priority admissions criteria.

3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:

  1. Look at our school catchment area guide for more information on heat maps. They give a useful indicator of the general areas that admit pupils to the school. This visualisation is based on all attending pupils present at the time of the annual School Census.
  2. Use the link to the Local Authority Contact (above) to find catchment area information based on a single admission year. This is very important if you are considering applying to a school.
  3. On each school page, use the link to visit the school website and find information on individual school admissions criteria. Geographical criteria are only applied after pupils have been admitted on higher priority criteria such as Looked After Children, SEN, siblings, etc.

School Description

Burlais Primary School is in Cwmbwrla Park, north of Swansea city centre. The school opened in September 2012 following the amalgamation of Cwmbwrla and Manselton primary schools. In September 2015, the school moved into a new building on a new site. There are 580 pupils on roll, including 74 part-time nursery pupils. There are 18 single-year classes and two mixed-year classes. In addition, there are three specialist teaching facilities, providing education for 27 pupils with speech, language and communication needs from across the local authority. Around 30% of pupils are eligible for free school meals. This is above the average for Wales of 19%. The school identifies 28% of pupils as having additional learning needs, which is slightly higher than the national average of 25%. A very few pupils have a statement of special educational needs or are in the care of the local authority. Nearly all pupils are of white British ethnicity and come from homes where English is the main language. Very few pupils speak Welsh at home. This is the new school’s first inspection since its amalgamation. The current headteacher took up her post in September 2012. The individual school budget per pupil for Burlais Primary School in 2016-2017 means that the budget is £3,579 per pupil. The maximum per pupil in the primary schools in Swansea is £5,232 and the minimum is £2,703. Burlais Primary School is 26th out of the 79 primary schools in Swansea in terms of its school budget per pupil.
